Hello...I'v got this problem from way long back & i'm looking for a solution... i checked ''my computer'' properties and see '' installed memory (ram) : 4GB (3.36 usable) '' & i wondered a while Bcuz i'm using Windows 7 64-bit OS ...... IS THIS NORMAL???.. & after a while,,. i guess the reserved space was for the Integrated/Onboard Graphics... since I already have a GPU,.. I guess i need to disable the Integrated/Onboard Graphics to get the space back or can i just reduce the reserved space....( I'm using an AMD A10 5800k ).. Please help me as I want to upgrade to 8GB...
THANKs..

It's normal.
When you upgrade to 8Gb the system will take even more memory, although there is tricks to reduce the memory usage I've never looked into them-me lazy British. ;) 
Keep an eye here, but post a thread in the Windows section of the Software Forum as well if you're bothered about the amount of memory Windows uses.

Memory is designed around international standards, it makes no difference who makes it, or what name is on the packaging although you should be careful to match any new parts with those already installed.
Remove one of the modules and write down its speed: It will say something like DDR3 1333/PC10660 or DDR3 1600/PC12800.
Ignore the timings which will say something like: 9-9-9-24 and also ignore the cas latency number, these are only really important if you plan on a high overclock.
It is VITAL to match the voltage, not all motherboards support higher voltage modules.
